And yet it is cozying up to Russia in ways that have antagonized the U.S. Congress. Top concerns include Turkey’s recent invasion of Syria targeting U.S.-allied Syrian Kurds and its purchase of Russian weapons systems.A...….Loading...President Donald Trump’s affinity for strongmen is well documented, from Vladimir Putin of Russia to Kim Jong Un of North Korea.
